Lose It! 6.1 Update (iOS)

After a long winter we are pleased to report that spring in New England has finally sprung! The sun is shining, the birds are chirping and our spring cleaning is close to being done. This seemed like the perfect time to release the next version of Lose It!. Lose It! 6.1 contains fresh new features and a few behind-the-scenes tweaks to make your experience even more seamless. Check out what’s new in Lose It! 6.1 below.

Patterns (Premium Only)

Patterns is a Premium feature that shows correlations between your logging and your budget. For example, if you have Small Lunches as a Positive Pattern, it means on days you consume fewer calories at lunch, you tend to keep your total calories lower.

Patterns (iOS)

If you have High Protein Dinner as a Positive Pattern, it means that when you have more protein at dinner you generally stay within your calorie budget..

The more consistently and thoroughly you log, the better feedback you’ll be able to get from Patterns. To access your Patterns details, open your iOS app and go to Me > Insights > Patterns. Keep logging for the best results!

New Apps & Devices Controls

Ever wish Lose It! could read steps from your iPhone while still capturing sleep from your Jawbone or Fitbit? Well now you can! You now have full control over what syncs between Lose It! and the apps and devices you have connected. To toggle your settings, go to Me > More > Apps & Devices and use the settings on each app and device to configure your integrations in a way that fits your lifestyle.

App Control (Runkeeper)

*Special note to Runkeeper users– you can now turn off food sync from Lose It! to Runkeeper if you’d like.

Improved Nutrition Display

We’ve improved the nutrient view on individual food choices by utilizing unused screen real estate to make fonts larger and more crisp.

Old Nutrient UI

New Nutrient UI

UI Fine Tuning

1. Projected Goal Date

2. Nutrient Colors

3. Create Exercise

On the Goals view we now show the date you are projected to hit your goal, instead of just the number of days remaining.

The colors on the nutrient charts have been tweaked so they are more readable.

You can now create a custom exercise from exercise search results or the My Exercises view.

Recommendations View Revamp

We’ve tweaked the Recommendations view on the My Day screen of the app to make them even easier to read and nicer to view. You’ll also be notified of new features in the app with the improved recommendations view.

Bugs? Squashed ‘Em!

Thanks to the help of several member reports we identified a few bugs in the app. Most notably these bugs were related to profile pictures on iPad, a Reminders issue on iPad, and a few crashes and other nuances.
